add the bump map of Earth to the cloud shadow layer



The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.

(still don't know why everyone is doing this...)

I'm glad i can bring something to the table.
I have to say space engine is a dream come true : Celestia got me hooked for a decade, and I felt a bit disappointed when pc graphics hardware improved without a recent realistic planetarium to run on it...

And a few weeks ago I heard about this great software: thank you space engineer, you really made my summer :-)

@Momax... great script, but I'm a noob to modifying Space Engine. (I have v0.97)

It seems as though your script only applies to Earth.

Is there any way to implement this on all procedural planets? (If so, could you spell it out so a first-timer can make the modifications?)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

No, it's not possible.

Hi Adobe_Wan_Kenobi, yes only for non-procedural textures (planets in our neighborhood, mapped by mankind...)

HarbingerDawn: maybe it is possible to assign an image texture for clouds on a procedural planet?

Again, no, that is impossible.

Is it completely impossible to generate cloud shadows for procedural planets? sad



Love Space Engine!

Currently yes. It won't happen until SpaceEngineer implements actual cloud shadows.

I guess it won't happen until clouds are animated in 3D :/



Love Space Engine!

Why? There's no reason cloud shadows can't be implemented with 2D clouds. Celestia did it, after all.
